"At this moment we cannot confirm any launch date in the UK, because at the moment we don't know the exact configuration of the new Euro5 emission regulations," said Stephen Hollings, head of corporate sales, Honda.
Under EU draft proposals, Euro5 diesels are required to reduce NOx emissions by 20% and particulate matter by 80% compared to Euro4 standards. Although the new draft has still to be approved, its introduction could be as early as 2008.
In addition, Honda is also developing an ultra-clean V6 diesel. Its likely first use is the Legend.
Also in the plans is a new hybrid family-sized car for 2009. Unlike the current Civic Hybrid, it's likely to be a hatchback model rather than the current saloon-only. It will also be cheaper than the current Civic Hybrid, already the cheapest hybrid in the UK.
